Call To Courage: Exclusive Men's Retreat for Heart-Led Visionaries

After earning his MBA in London and relocating to the Canary Islands, Brian met his wife and planned to return to the US to start a family. Only months after the wedding, they received devastating news that they couldn't conceive, shattering their lifelong dream of being parents. Brian underwent a spiritual journey, questioning his identity and purpose in the process. This experience, initially a blow, became his greatest gift, prompting him to reevaluate his identity and priorities. This led him to fast for five days in the deserts of Death Valley, piercing his own chest with cactus thorns, a private Ayahuasca ceremony for him and his wife in Costa Rica, breaking down and expanding his understanding of love and intimacy between the masculine and feminine at a men's retreat in Malaga, and leading a virtual men's team with Rising Man since 2020. Incorporating his experience with his teachings and spiritual journeys, Brian now guides Men to cultivating love from the inside out, fostering healthy relationships and navigating life's challenges with confidence and integrity. Such programs include Intentional Union, which supports couples in re-imaging their union and re-building it on a foundation of authenticity and courage; Man Unshakeable guides men to identifying and living their truth with the feminine NO MATTER WHAT; and Naked Truth is a journey for men and women to connect with their bodies in love, acceptance, gratitude, play and power. I was compelled to co-create the Call to Courage Retreat for a few powerful reasons: Expanding Beyond Borders: The decision to create the Call to Courage Retreat in Guatemala stemmed from a realization—I felt constrained by limiting my events to the Canary Islands. Embracing a challenge to confront my fears head-on and elevate my impact led me to establish a powerful space in Guatemala. This move aligns with my deep commitment to serve others at the highest level possible. Trusting Collaboration: Hosting a gathering of this scale marks a significant milestone in my journey. It nudges me to trust in collaboration and co-creation, especially after the affirmation from Gareth’s podcast: “This is the man to build with!” This venture pushes me to expand my horizons and create a truly transformative experience for Mission-Driven Men. Personal Growth Journey: Beyond the external impact, this retreat holds profound personal significance. As a Coach and Soul Guide, I cherish the privilege of facilitating growth in others while continuing my own inner work. By immersing myself in Guatemala, I confront and heal the lingering doubts—“Am I enough?” and “Will they accept it (me)?” This retreat is not just about proving those doubts wrong; it’s about rewriting my internal narrative to resonate with the authentic truths etched in my soul—the same truths we aim to uncover and celebrate together during the retreat! ✌🏽❤️🙏🏽

I came to Lake Atitlan for the first time in October 2017. From the moment I first saw her, there was something magical about it, and my love affair with Guatemala and this land has deepened every day since. In 2019, I decided to make San Marcos home until further notice. Having a home again was a big step after 41 countries and six years of endless adventures and full-time travel. I made an offer on a home, and a few days later, I met my partner, Araminta, who has lived on the lake for 20 years. Life had given me some clear signs that this was where I needed to be. I live full-time in Guatemala with Araminta, our two cats (Zen and Zola), and a rescue dog called Layla. I'm grateful every day to live here and be part of this community. Why I Created The Call To Courage Men's Retreat. I wanted to create an experience in which ten courageous men came together around a potent enquiry about life's second mountain. I want to invite other men to experience the land and lake that support my healing journey so that it can support them, also. I want to create financial abundance while supporting other heart-led visionaries who are also committed to raising consciousness and enjoying life. To feel pampered and enjoy luxurious spaces. To co-create with another heart-led visionary - Brian Jenkins. I want to share my gifts. So, Meditation, Men's Work, Yoga, Physical and Emotional Awareness, and Shadow Work are all woven into this retreat experience. To raise awareness and money for on-the-ground projects here at the lake. These projects directly uplift and empower the community on the lake through water sanitation, reforestation, and the creation of community-owned enterprises. To share the magic and medicine held by others on the lake. Cacao, Fire Ceremony, San Pedro and catering are a co-creation with local lake residents. I want to share the medicine that I receive weekly from my men's circle at the lake. I am excited to share what I've learnt and embodied. Our space is breathtaking, and my team and community are behind me. I'm calling in other heart-led visionaries ready to tackle their life's second mountain and show up in service as we create the new world our hearts know is possible. If you're on this page and feel a buzz in your system that's both excitement and nervousness, this might be your Call To Courage. Brian and I will be waiting to welcome you to our lakeside villa on July 23rd this year. Thanks for checking out this invitation. Much love.
